    Hi all,

    is there a way of stopping a service remotely? I am connected to serverA via rdp but I am unable to connect to server via rdp as there is a service listening on port 3389.

    So from serverA I would like to know if it is possible to FIRTS of all find what service / PID is using port 3389 THEN kill the service FROM serverA

    Thanks

    You could do that in many ways, you could remotly connect to the server via computer management.

    Or you could use psexec: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx

    or better, how can I use taskkill to kill a PID on a remote server? The server is 2008, I know the PID I need to kill but im not sure about the taskkill syntax and im not sure if this will work on a 2008 server?
